No problem 👍

[@bikenavbm1229]

bit late coming to the party but enjoying so far watched the freebie coverage on youtube but never spotted you so have no idea how you got on, enjoying your story telling so far, your remarks and attitude could be anybodies except perhaps the lack of ability to see signs🤭 looking forward to more, thanks for posting. A Lover of All Things Dakar.

Great content once again

[@jameshillierracing]

Thank you

[@jfoz7602]

The paddock reminds me of a mini camp Bastion it’s huge, Sandy and really flat and surrounded by nothingness! Amazing

[@alrightdave6135]

Excellent

[@jameshillierracing]

Thanks

[@ducatimale]

That bivouac is bigger and more populated than Nossebro!

[@ady1397]

Now it's all over and you've had time to assess, did you do better or worse than you thought you would James? I thought you did fantastic👍👍

[@elvisparsley37]

Just superb content as ever James. Really great to see and be behind the scenes. This is the type of stuff we all want to experience and be part of. Unfortunately your prologue fringe deserved all it got! 🤣😍

[@jameshillierracing]

Glad you enjoyed it even with my dodgy fringe!

[@ChrisPlow]

Loving the personal insight into it Dakar Malle experience just awesome….👍 and thank god you can read a road book over seeing a big orange flag saying ‘refuel’ ;-) but can see how you can get distracted with so much to take in, congrats again 🏍💨✊

[@jameshillierracing]

I got carried away videoing! I was ok with the roadbook

[@ChrisPlow]

@@jameshillierracing without a shadow of a doubt, it’s incredible you can ride that fast and follow the road book I’d be falling off at every dune and camel grass!

[@patrickfay1055]

Thank you so much for letting us follow your journey ps what a great ride

[@martinchesney9393]

If I’d have watched you looking for fuel before knowing how you did I would not have fancied your chances but very well done a huge achievement

[@karlsumner5594]

Thanks for this, it’s great to have an inside view of things. Really interesting.

[@jameshillierracing]

[@jameshillierracing]

Thank you!

[@GarryMcGovern]

Haha! SIS gels..... been using them for years during marathons and Ironmans. Good sh1t!! 😉

[@jameshillierracing]

They are very good, but after 7 days and 7 to go, I just wanted real snacks! 🤣🤣

[@darell1834]

Brilliant stuff James, thanks for documenting the adventure for us! So, you gong back next year???

[@jameshillierracing]

Not sure yet, one day maybe

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Great video James. The Bivouac is like a small town. Wonder what the population number of it is.

[@amandaleeming5527]

There are close to 4,000 people in a bivouac, including competitors, mechanics, team staff, rally officials, medical staff and press representatives. (according to Google)

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@@amandaleeming5527 wow. That’s a lot.

[@e.s.9918]

Nice video diary. Did you take all the rations with you for the whole 14 days or could you get more there. Looking forward to some action next week.

[@jameshillierracing]

Yes, but after a few days, I wanted anything but gels and bars! :)

[@e.s.9918]

I bet...omg... disgusting 14 day diet 🤣
